A good way to have a heart attack. That is why I have a snow blower. I am not as young as I once was, nor am I in as good a shape.

I am in good shape for the shape I am in, though. :har:

A good idea.:up: Only one problem. It's $1000.00 I don't have.:wah:

That's why the first thing I did after purchasing it was train my wife in the efficient use of said item :03:

I will just bet that you look real good (in her eyes) with that snow shovel shoved up where the sun doesn't shine.:-?

She doesn't even know where it's stored never mind which end to hold :)

I would think that pontoons would be better for you than a snow shovel. How about a canoe?

He's got a pair of those spiffy Union Jack duck boots. No need for watercraft.:D

Maybe a Sump pump?

Quite lucky up north atm, no flooding, just wind and rain.

Catching snowflakes on your tongue?
 

It's the same as eating dirt so I never did it as a kid.
Without a speck of dirt or other microscopic matter, water won't freeze into the crystalline lattice that creates snow and ice.:huh:
Oddly enough, most of the dirt is actually micro-meteorites as well as dust blown into the atmo by wind. The rest is microorganisms.

Oh, also don't eat the yellow snow, but it's good for a laugh in a snowball fight.:O:

Snow weary
 

Blech!

Shovel, shovel and more shovel.:stare:
I went outside yesterday and cleaned two feet of snow off my truck, got it freed from the driveway without shoveling. Love that four wheel drive!:yeah:
Then I discover that the blower motor in the heater had given up the ghost and I can't go anywhere with a foggy windshield.:wah: A blizzard of expletives soon followed.:haha: So, I spend the rest of the day carving a path for my stepsons' car, cleaned two feet of snow off his buggy and went grocery shopping. I fell into bed last night totally spent with my left wrist aching like the dickens. I broke that one during my teen years and now it comes back to haunt me.:-?
Add insult to injury...more snow on the way.:down:
Anybody have a pair of snowshoes?

When we get up in years that is when we pay dearly for our folly in our junior years. My left knee lets me know when it is going to rain, big time, to the point where it wont support my weight and will give out. So I can feel your pain and there is nothing we can do for it unless we want to be all goobered up and I wont do that. (Did more than my share when I was younger).

We are getting the snow that was forecast yesterday for today. I will no longer use Environment Canada for a weather forecast, they suck. I used Intellicast yesterday and they were right on the money. It looks real pretty out there right now. All white on the ground and all the little brown piles the dog leaves around covered up. I will go out and blow in a couple of hours, the brown will get 'relocated' into the bush and the snow scraped down to the ice underneath.

Sears had a really nice two stage powered drive blower for $640. I picked one up and it was a life saver. I am too old, fat, and out of shape to be shoveling the two sidewalks I am "responsible" for. :O:

Out side for awhile shoveling snow till the back hurt.
Inside to warm up for a bit.
Then back at the shoveling!
:o



I felt really bad when Nancy told me that seeing as I'm in California suffering.
:haha:

He says sitting at the hotel pool bar, beer in hand.

Snow here for the next three days....
